You won't notice nearly as much "noise" on 160m with that Omni C as compared
with multi-conversion, synthesized receivers. The S meter may read slightly
lower on 160m than it does on other bands however the sensitivity is just as
good. A side by side comparasion will be your best test. I've compared it
against the rigs you mentioned and many others and it found that it performs
much better than the others especially in heavy QRN. Buy it. You can't
loose.
